Virginia game is a little bit higher scoring than I expected. They might top 40 combined points by halftime.
UVA bleh
Virginia plays out of their minds against teams like Carolina and Duke, but can't score 20 points in a half against a 16 seed. Makes sense.

I’ll preface this by saying I think they are really good.
But their style of play is embarrassing.
A lot of teams I can pull for winning this first round. Duke, Marshall, UC, X, OSU, WVU...teams I can pull for. And as I say that these teams will all be eliminated by Mich St, UK, UNC, Kansas and Syracuse lol

And I should say, offensive style. Their defense is a thing of beauty.

Right, great defensive team for sure.

Glad it's not just me....she was awful last year. I think she's probably knowledgeable, but she just sucks at announcing.
16 seed gonna get one? Virginia getting ripped
What is UVA gonna do? They have no choice but to attack and speed up game.
Doing some really dumb things

Sad part is....I was anti-Virginia. But then I figured most people were (and actually are), so I rolled with them in one bracket as a defensive block.
My god the amount of suck in my picks this year is almost impressive.
Goodness, is UVA gonna steal Zona’s negative thunder?
UMBC is giving no shits right now
This is hilarious. It’s fucking UMBC! How are you down by 16?! Lol
Hey guys what’s up-(turns on Virginia game) oh.............
uh oh, the ultimate bracket buster looming
posted by MulvaJairus Lyles is good.
Maura the Latino Leprechaun for the three!!!
Virginia just can’t cut into the damn lead so far, UMBC answering everything.
UMBC this 2nd half has been great at getting the open 3 and getting to the basket. Very quick on offense
He really really should’ve been T’d up
Great job by ref

He absolutely should have been. But the ref should have never taken those 2-3 steps at him.
They need to break pressure and go to the basket a few passes later as they are trapping every pass. I’m usually all for the running of clock but not sure they can handle the pressure and have enough to hold on.
I mean are you serious

They gotta keep doing what got them to this point. Play their game. Just like those last 2 scores.
